About this listen
Spoken Word at its sparkling, hilarious best. Featuring excerpts from Mercury in Retrograde, a show critics describe as “cancelled due to clinical psychosis”, and The Scotsman called "Strangely gripping."
God: tackled! Vegetarians: slain! Cults: joined! Drugs: differentiated! America: explained!
“Headlining performance artist Ian Winn, a California marine-biology graduate turned expatriate spoken-word sensation took top honors at several major poetry slams in England (and) opened for superstar rave DJ’s such as Paul Oakenfold at London nightspots. Winn’s live shows are an alloy of satirical, politically-tinged, stand-up comedy...and memorized, hyperkinetic readings of the poems in his novel.” (Denver Westword)
“Strangely gripping.” (The Scotsman)
“Sharp writing, amusing vignettes” (The Telegraph)
“Get on a Winn-ing streak. With his energetic performance poetry, Ian Winn is a leading star on the spoken word circuit.” (The Guardian)
“Witty, perceptive, ridiculous!” (The List, Edinburgh Fringe Review)
“Rockin’ the world of verse, slam poet Ian Winn drives ‘em wild.” (Phoenix New Times)

There is a distinctive style throughout, comedy with warmth but bite, and the sixties and seventies are long gone, but their ghosts live on.
Ian's delinquent Mercury knows a lot about Saturn, and so he would. Mercury is the deal maker. Saturn is the power of the corporation.
Fast paced, almost relentlessly paced, this is a performance poet as bard.
Choose your god if you must. Worship at your peril. Every choice is a rejection, but divinity is within, and the elements rule.
